I am so glad tomorrow’s Friday. I’ve never really been one of those people who LOVES and WORSHIPS Fridays, but seriously, I want this week to be over. So much going on. Ugh. Boring Spanish class, my legs are falling off (too much running) , I have a History Presentation tomorrow and one of the girls in my group isn’t going to be here, AND on top of that I have a clarinet playing test on a really hard piece coming up. Oh, yeah, and I need to get my good leg splits down for gymnastics before Halloween. I also can’t find my favorite pair of leggings, and I don’t want to go to school (if you haven’t figured that out already, lol)

‘kay, now I wanna talk about something. WHY. DOES. EVERYONE. AT. MY. SCHOOL. ACT. SO. FAKE. Like, wanting to be/feel accepted is one thing- but completely changing who you are is totally different. Almost everyone I know is fake and like, it irks me that people think, Oh, I’m so much better than (name) because I’m prettier. Or because I have cool friends. Or ’cause I have like 100 people I’m friends with on Snapchat. Like, oh my god. Seriously. It’s so annoying.

Hi, I took these photos of Brooke recently and here they are! Sorry if this is kind of rushed, I needed to post something to see if the pictures are working. I know that I’m running out of timeI want it all, mmm, mmmAnd I’m wishing they’d stop tryna turn me offI want it on, mmm, mmm

We came here to run it, run it, run itWe came here to run it, run it, run it

❤ ❤ ❤ Brooke, why are you so stinkin’ gorgeous?

I hope the pictures are visible! (idk how many times I’ve typed that XD) Oh my gosh I seriously love these sandals. ❤ Have a great day,

Hello, writers, bloggers, and unicorns! 🙂 This is the kind of thing that I don’t normally post on here, but I had a great idea for a story as I was taking pictures of Brooke outside. I also have some tips that will help you when writing or give you some ideas!

Use nature as a writing prompt. If you see a leaf, you can make into something symbolic for a story or make up a dramatic line for a story. An example:

The leaf fluttered away in the gentle summer breeze. The sun shone brightly, the flowers were everywhere. But to me, everything served as a reminder that nothing stays forever. The pink peonies’ ruffled petals reminded me of the lacy pink dresses my sister used to wear. Suddenly, something as happy as a flower could make me want to cry.

***

I went to her grave the next day. It was hard to believe that my sister, the one who had lived and breathed and loved once was under the cold, unforgiving, earth. I sank to my knees and wished for my sister to come back. But it turns out that that was once upon a time. Wishing for things was behind me now. Wishing does not exist in a world where my sister does not either.

Here’s another one I came up with after taking this photo:

Dewdrops scattered the ground and the moonlight illuminated the sky. Dewdrops, I thought. The tears of the angels.

Even if it’s just one sentence, it can make a big difference in your story.

I was alone. It was an awful feeling, but I hardly remembered a time where other humans roamed the Earth anyway.

Run. The word was in big, flashing lights in my head. The world was no longer safe for people like me. A watch was of no use, I had been running for hours already. Time never mattered anyway. I kept running until my legs were sore, until I couldn’t breathe, until I reached a place I no longer recognized as Earth.

See how that works? Each of the short stories I wrote have a common theme, so I could probably mush that into one big story.

Hi, everyone! I know, I know, I never announced that I’m doing a Q and A! I actually wasn’t planning on it, but I am doing a Q and A on my other blog, and some of you asked me doll-related questions (which is totally okay!) and I thought, ” I’ll answer those on here!” Consider it as a thank-you for 50 followers. 🙂 I also have a few pictures of Brooke to make this post a little more interesting, enjoy!

Ruthie is my first doll. I got her at the AG store when I was about six. 🙂 It was super exciting and I have a lot of happy memories of me playing with Ruthie. Next, Grace’s questions!

How did you discover dolls?

My best friend had an American Girl Doll (Chrissa) and I thought it was so cool! Ruthie caught my eye because she’s really pretty and her name sounds like mine. And so began my obsession with AG dolls! 😉

Who is your favorite doll?

AGH! I DON’T KNOW! I couldn’t possibly decide! I love them all! Ruthie is my very unique first doll and holds a special place in my heart, but Saige is gorgeous and bold, and shares some of my characteristics! Brooke is my newest doll, she’s gotten so many comments on how beautiful she is, and she makes a great model. She probably has my favorite personality out of all my dolls. But to pick an overall favorite is impossible. 😛

As a matter of fact, I do! I love crafting. One of my favorite accessories I’ve made for my dolls is the pair of shoes Brooke’s wearing right now: Ooh, and making costumes for my dolls is really fun! 🙂

I love to mix and match to get all sorts of different looks, but I’m particularly in LOVE with the outfit from this post because it looks great on all my dolls. 😉 This dress is really cute, too.

Now, I’d like to thank a handful of you and tell you how awesome you are, okay? 😛

Loren-thanks for being my first follower and the inspiration for starting a blog! You’re an amazing writer and a great photographer, too.

Marshmallow- (no, this is not her real name) 😉 Thank you for being one of my BFFs in real life and for following my blog! You’re super sweet and it means so much to me that you comment on all my posts.

Jaclynn– You’re an A-M-A-Z-I-N-G blogger, your posts are so cute and happy -and are so fun to read. Also, congrats on hitting 100 followers on LHOAG!

Meg & Michelle– You guys leave the nicest comments EVER on my blog and even blame your new obsession with AG minis on me! (Uuhhh…sorry…but they’re just so CUTE!)

Hey! I took some photos of Brooke early in the morning yesterday. The lighting was just gorgeous and I love how they turned out! We have these really pretty tulips in front of our house. 😉 They look nice when they’ve opened up, but they also look pretty like this. It was so fun to photograph Brooke here! This one is my absolute favorite. ❤Right after I took this one, I started looking through the pictures I’d taken, not watching my doll at all. She began to tip over and almost fell flat on her face, but I caught her just in time! 😉 Okay, I have to tell you this. One time, a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away my family was going on vacation! I brought Ruthie along in her little carrier, and I carefully put her under the seat to take a nap. When I woke up, she wasn’t there! I freaked out! Then I realized that these two girls who were sitting in front of me had taken her out of the carrier and were playing with her. I was so surprised, and it was so awkward! 😛 Totally off topic- let’s get back to the pictures.YESSS I FINALLY DID IT

I’ve always wanted to take a picture of my doll’s shadow, it’s fun and just looks super cute. But I always end up somewhere in the picture and it doesn’t turn out good. Hooray! Now for some nature shots. 🙂I don’t think this one has opened yet. It’s so weird, it’s like a random single red tulip just growing on the side…?

All I knew this morning when I wokeIs I know something now, know something now I didn’t before

And all I’ve seen since eighteen hours ago is green eyes and frecklesAnd your smile in the back of my mind making me feel like I just want to know you better, know you better, know you better now I just want to know you better, know you better, know you better now I just want to know you better, know you better, know you better now I just want to know you, know you, know you

‘Cause all I know is we said hello And your eyes look like coming home All I know is a simple name, everything has changed All I know is you held the door You’ll be mine and I’ll be yours All I know since yesterday is everything has changed

And all my walls stood tall painted blue But I’ll take ’em down, take ’em down and open up the door for you

And all I feel in my stomach is butterflies the beautiful kind Making up for lost time, taking flight, making me feel like

I just want to know you better, know you better, know you better now I just want to know you better, know you better, know you better now I just want to know you better, know you better, know you better now I just want to know you, know you, know you

‘Cause all I know is we said hello And your eyes look like coming home All I know is a simple name, everything has changed All I know is you held the door You’ll be mine and I’ll be yours All I know since yesterday is everything has changed

Come back and tell me why I’m feeling like I’ve missed you all this time And meet me there tonight And let me know that it’s not all in my mind

I just want to know you better, know you better, know you better now I just want to know you, know you, know you

All I know is we said hello Your eyes look like coming home All I know is a simple name, everything has changed All I know is he held the door You’ll be mine and I’ll be yours All I know since yesterday is everything has changed

All I know is we said hello So dust off your highest hopes All I know is pouring rain And everything has changed All I know is a new found grace All my days, I’ll know your face All I know since yesterday is everything has changed

That post took me forever to write. I was just about to finish putting the pictures in and then WordPress refreshed the page or something and only a few got saved so I had to re-upload the rest. Anyway, I think this might be my favorite photoshoot of Saige. She is such a gorgeous girl and I love this song. I hope you all enjoyed, have a great day!

You know how most moms have to go up and tell their kids to go outside and play? Not with me! I’m actually pretty proud of that. I’m a nature lover and decided to spend my Saturday outdoors. Lil’ Lissie came out to play, too. 😉 Life’s good, Lissie…Life is good. 😛***

Hi everyone! I, like Brooke, spent my Saturday afternoon outside- taking pictures. It was a lot of fun, and, yes, I did put Brooke in a tree for the last two pictures, though if I hadn’t done that with my other dolls ages ago, I probably wouldn’t have in fear of my new doll getting any scuffs or scratches. 🙂
